Pavlik V Calz... the more I think about it the more I think this fight should happen.

pavlik needs to fight abraham.as for glen johnson,calzaghe would of schooled him at any point in his career.

 

Or perhaps Pavlik should focus on becoming undisputedly the best guy in his own division.

 

he wasnt in the same weight class as toney or bhop wen they were in the top 10,i think frank warren needs to cop a fair amount of blame over calzaghe's resume.

 

Well Kessler was in his prime and in my book p4p top-15, and Hopkins, while far from his prime was still seen as one of the p4p best.
Now, i'm no big fan of Calzaghe, but if i was i think i'd have a few pretty good arguments to set against yours right there.

 

I think if Calzaghe stays in the game for another year or two ... despite losing to Roy Jones ... a fight between he and Pavlik would be huge and the more the US sees Calzaghe the more they're going to like his personality.

He's humble but he's confident ... and he doesn't talk trash ...

The same goes for Pavlik ...

If they hooked up in the next year despite whatever goes on in their careers ... they can produce some good numbers PPV wise ... atleast 500k ... two white guys who aren't cocky ... who just want to fight and put on a show are going to bring in alot of casual fans.

 

edit

 

Whether Hopkin's was past his prime is irrelevant. He was in the top 5 P4P (higher than Pavlik is now) and fights 2 divisions up from Pavlik.

 

hopkins and jones wanted no part in calzaghe before. pavlik should think about abraham before he talks about calzaghe. calzaghe is settling the score with the very men that ducked him in his prime. anyway as soon as pavlik does move up and gets schooled by kessler you will see just how much hype pavlik is. i'd personaly rather see winky fight calzaghe as his style will unsettle calzaghe. if they do fight, calzaghe by TKO rd 7.

 

Pavlik needs to clean up his own division before challenging Calzaghe. Let Joe earn his $$$'s fighting Jones whilst Pavlik fights Abraham then if Joe beats Jones then let him fight the winner of Pav/Abraham.

I do hope Joe fights Pavlik or Abraham though. These two are young and in their primes (or possibly they havn't reached their prime yet but atleast they are not past their primes like Jones and Hopkins). I love Joe and wouldn't begrudge him wanting to take the money and retire after Jones, and i do think he would beat Pavlik and Abraham but there will always be that nagging thought in the future years when reminiscing about Calzaghes career that he didn't fight the winner of Pav/Abraham

 

Everyone needs to get over the hypothetical Calzaghe vs. Pavlik fight. It will never happen thanks to RJJ being available. Calzaghe will stick to his word and retire after RJJ. I wanted to see this fight happen in the worst way, but it will not. Calzaghe's career has been very carefully planned from day 1. He will not take a big risk in Pavlik when he has a past it RJJ whom he can make plenty of money fighting. Pavlik vs. Abraham and Pavlik vs. Kessler are the 2 fights I want to see next for Pavlik's career. Calzaghe is done after the fight with RJJ. Forget about him.
